A User that posts a job advertisement to one of the Websites must be either the prospective employer or the prospective employer’s representative or agent (Employer).

Users and Employers post information on or send information to Terrapinn, the Websites or any other person at their own risk. Terrapinn does not monitor the information posted by Users or Employers on the Websites and is in no way responsible for the content or publication of such information.

Inconsistency
In the event of inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions of Use and any terms and conditions attaching to a particular product or service (including any Registered User, Subscriber or Employment service), these Terms and Conditions of Use take precedence.

Intellectual property

You must not use any of Terrapinn’s trade marks:

1. in or as the whole or part of your own or any other trade mark;

2. in a manner which may be confusing, misleading or deceptive; or

3. in a manner that in Terrapinn’s sole opinion is detrimental to Terrapinn’s reputation or interests or is otherwise inappropriate.

Terrapinn reserves the right to revoke at any time for any reason any license to use its trade marks.

Other product and company names mentioned in the Websites may be the trade marks of other people or entities.

Links and other business relationships
Other than as required by law, Terrapinn makes no representations or warranties whatsoever about any other website which may be accessed through the Websites or any Third Party Website. Links are provided as a courtesy to Users only and in no way should be interpreted as an endorsement or approval of or affiliation with any other website.

Terrapinn is not responsible for any information or opinions published on any website linked or referred to in the Websites or any Third Party Website.

Other websites accessed through links on the Websites or any Third Party Website, or advertisements, their referral buttons or embedded hyperlinks, might contain representations or offers which you can accept by linking to a relevant website and executing a transaction. These are not representations or offers made by Terrapinn and the relevant third party is solely responsible to you for the delivery, condition and suitability of any products or services you purchase by accessing those websites.

Framing, linking and use of Terrapinn trade marks
A person may provide links to the Websites. A person must not use any link in any way that represents or has the effect of representing any approval or endorsement of or affiliation with Terrapinn.

Furthermore a person may not provide a link to the Websites on a website that is in Terrapinn's opinion and at its sole discretion, not appropriate.

In no case may a person provide a link to the Websites from a website that contains sexually explicit or offensive material of any kind.

Terrapinn reserves the right to revoke this licence at any time with or without cause.

Compliance with laws
The User must ensure that their access to the Websites or any Third Party Website is not illegal or prohibited by, and that they at all times comply with, any laws that apply to the User or in the User’s location.

Terrapinn does not warrant that the content of the Websites complies with the laws of any country outside of England. If Users access the Websites or any Third Party Websites from outside of England, they do so at their own risk and accept responsibility for ensuring or confirming compliance with all laws that apply to them as a result of that access or any consequent transactions or dealings with Terrapinn.

No offers where illegality arises
Nothing on the Websites constitutes an offer to provide products or services in any jurisdiction if to do so would contravene the laws of that jurisdiction.

No liability
In no event will Terrapinn or its employees, agents, suppliers, or contractors be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense (including all legal costs) or liability of any kind or character (whether due to Terrapinn’s negligence or otherwise), including without limitation any compensatory, incidental, direct, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, loss of data, loss of income or profit, loss of or damage to property, loss or denial of service, business interruption, claims of third parties or other losses of any kind or character, even if Terrapinn has been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses, arising out of or in any way connected with the use of or access to the Websites, any Third Party Website or any product or service provided by or via Terrapinn or the Websites.

Terrapinn does not undertake to keep the Websites updated. Terrapinn is not liable to any person for any error or inaccuracy in the information on or connected with the Websites or any other website or if the information is not up to date.

Terrapinn is not liable to Users or any other person if interference with or damage to their computer or computer systems occurs in connection with use of the Websites, any Third Party Websites or a linked website. Users must take their own precautions to ensure that whatever they access, select or use is free of errors, viruses or anything else (such as “worms”, “Trojan horses” or other deleterious data or programs) that may interfere with or damage the operations of any computer or computer systems.

Warranties
To the full extent permitted by law Terrapinn excludes, whether express or implied, all warranties (including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), terms, conditions or representations of any kind.

In the event that any warranty cannot by law be excluded, the liability of Terrapinn in any way related to the Websites (or any Third Party Website) including the use of the Websites or any product or service accessed, obtained or purchased via or from Terrapinn or the Websites, is limited at Terrapinn’s sole discretion to:

1. the resupply or the repair, or where the product or service cannot be resupplied or repaired the replacement, of the relevant product or service;

2. where the relevant product or service in question can not be resupplied, repaired or replaced, the supply of an equivalent (in Terrapinn’s opinion) product or service;

3. the purchase price paid by you to Terrapinn for that product or service; or

4. where relevant, taking reasonable steps to rectify or stop any malfunction of, inability to access, or instance of unauthorised use of or access to the Websites of which Terrapinn becomes aware.

Prices in US Dollars
Unless otherwise indicated, all prices listed on the Websites are in the currency of the United States of America being US Dollars (US$).

Invitation to treat
Nothing in the Websites, including these Terms and Conditions of Use, is to be construed as an offer to enter into a contract with Terrapinn in relation to the provision of any goods and/or services including the Subscriber Services. The Websites and any goods and services displayed within them are an invitation to treat only.

Terrapinn is only prepared to provide products and services on the terms and conditions outlined in these Terms and Conditions of Use. If you order products or services on other terms or conditions, any supply of the products or services by Terrapinn is by way of counter-offer to you on these Terms and Conditions of Use, which may be accepted by you by accepting the products or services. Any charge by Terrapinn to your nominated credit card or other electronic payment facility is not an acceptance of your offered terms and conditions but is in implementation of Terrapinn’s counter-offer to you. Terrapinn will reverse any charge if you do not accept its counter-offer.

Publishing information about a product or service on the Websites does not ensure its availability and price information is subject to change without notice.

Indemnification
The User (including without limitation any Employer, General or Registered User or Subscriber) hereby irrevocably indemnifies and holds harmless Terrapinn from and against any and all claims, loss, damage, cost (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis), expense or liability to, by or of Terrapinn or any other person arising from or in any way related to:

1. any act or omission of the User in breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use;
